**THE OFFICIAL ST. LOUIS CARDINALS BASEBALL THREAD**

Shutout! Best road team in MLB! #happyflight

Ugh, Garcia had another bad night and Cards are back to losing at home. Too many pitches high in the zone. Not ok in MLB and the Mets made Garcia pay for it. Carpenter should be back batting lead off, but with Holliday out, someone has to fill that 3 spot. Damn.

No reason piscotty can't hit 3rd.

Yeah, that reason is Matheny. Guy frustrates the hell out of me sometimes - he'll sit too long on particular lineups (and pitchers).

Ugh, the Turdinals showed up in Cincy last night. Can't load the bases 4x in a game and expect to come out with a win.

This is the kind of team the Cardinals are - scrappy fighters to the last. If they can keep the lead I think any NL team would be scared to draw them. Lots and lots and lots of HRs....if the pitching can get itself sorted out in time, hmmmmm. We could make a serious run again this year.

No clinching at Busch - its the little things...

I think Matheny managed that game like he did pulling Garcia so they wouldn't clinch in St. Louis...Speaking of Garcia can we finally say he is a goner? If it wasn't for him being left handed he would have been gone a long time ago

Ah man! I really thought he could turn it around. He was super fuckin' solid early on but fell to pieces. I don't think they'll keep him - not after hanging on to him for so long. Matheny's stick-to-itness with these pitchers DRIVES ME UP THE WALL.
